Belhaim
The town of Belhaim has a solid, but aging stone wall surrounding. It creates more or less a semi circle where each end reaches dozens of metres into the lake called Bellaku. Between the two end of the walls here is a small dock for incoming trade and for a small fishing fleet.
The dock area is somewhat musty and windy. There is a small of fish and damp wood ever present. There are fish stalls, fishing supply and repair stores, and a dockside tavern called The Kraken's Beak.
Further north, at the end of the Kraken's Beak's street there is a small square, the Fishmarkt, sometimes called the Old Town Square. Here goods arriving by boat, and harvested from the lake. The square itself is long and doglegged.
Further north the town begins to gentrify. There is a large intersection where three roads converge. Eastway, the road to the Eastgate. Oxenway, the road to Oxengate and the west. High street, the main road that goes toward Elector's gate and eventually winds further north to Battervold. This intersection opens up and becomes a wide square, called New Town Square or The Triways. On the northwest of the square is a large tavern called The Lonely Forest. Out the back of the tavern there is a small treelined garden used as a beergarden.
Further up the High Street is a wide side street that leads up a small rise to the walled keep of the town. Lord's Bastion. The higher stories of the bastion can easily overlook the Triways.
On the eastern end of the city's docks, outside the city walls, the lake becomes a river and winds past the eastern side of the city, heading north.
